dayakar · Answer

in  y=mx+b which one is slope ?

dayakar · Answer

r u there

abbycross167 · Answer

Sorry I was on a different tab...  m is the slope right?

dayakar · Answer

very good  m=2 given

dayakar · Answer

now we have to find b for that (x,y) =(-1,3) given 
substitute these values in the equation

abbycross167 · Answer

ok so now what? @dayakar

dayakar · Answer

what do u get

abbycross167 · Answer

y = 2x + 5 ? @dayakar

abdullahm · Answer

y = 2x + b

we need to solve for b, so we plug in the point (-1,3)

So...

3 = 2(-1) + b

Solve for b :)
